The cars involved in the Bruce Jenner accident

[question everything]

Jenner was going north when his black Cadillac Escalade rear-ended a Lexus sedan that had just struck the back of a black Toyota Prius, Los Angeles County sheriff’s Sgt. Philip Brooks said. The Lexus veered into oncoming traffic in a southbound lane and collided head-on with a black Hummer.

Only in California, and on a winding Pacific Coast Highway, can all these expensive cars be at the same time.

1. well....it was Malibu...

You can see the same thing in South Florida, esp. Boca Raton, South Beach, etc.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

3. Chicago too.

[dhill926]

sP

6. Oh, yeah... definitely could/does occur in northern Atlanta..

[ProdigalJunkMail]

10. my fav is getting blown away on 400 north

i'm doing 80 or 85 mph and here comes Magnum in his Ferrari... woooosh! those guys haul it... i guess they don't call it The Alpharetta Autobahn for nothing...

sP

5. WHile I would never make light of such a devastating incident...

I own a prius, the one car involved, clearly not included in the bolded descriptor...LOL

[question everything]

13. Yes, I was thinking later the Prius is just as expensive

but I don't think that Prius drivers hog the roads, claiming that it is their prerogative. Hummers and Escalades, and, I think, Lexus, do. At least from my experience.

[hlthe2b]

14. Oh, I was saying it isn't nearly in those $$$ categories.. I guess they've gotten more expensive...

but I bought mine well used.

BUt, yeah, I don't think prius drivers fit the mold of those other drivers.

7. Could easily happen here in DC. nt

[VanillaRhapsody]

8. I was thinking the EXACT same thing and was about to post it!

GMTA!

[WorseBeforeBetter]

18. Exactly. And it could happen in North Raleigh where I now live.

Driving a Subaru... bringing down the 'hood.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Could unfortunately happen in Houston.

It could also happen in Ann Arbor, Grosse Pointe and Bloomfield Hills, MI.

[GeorgeGist]

11. Lame!

I've seen the same on the roads of the poorest county in Tennessee.

[HereSince1628]

12. I think it could happen in WI, but the license plates would be from

elsewhere on at least one and more likely two of the cars.

15. Why make the obnoxious comment to begin with?

Start shooting...

[tammywammy]

16. Those aren't rare cars.

I see them all the time, even in my less to-do fancy pants city. Maybe if the accident was a Rolls Royce and Bentley you'd have a point.

[question everything]

21. Together, at one spot?

Of course these cars are everywhere. But to all be involved in the same accident I think is quite rare.

Unless you are at the intersection of, say Newport Beach or Bel-Air.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

22. nope... they're in places all over the country

you don't have to be in Bel-Air for this to happen. I don't know why you're on this... it just isn't that special.

sP

[Atman]

17. That's silly.

You can see that in the parking lot of Walmart in Connecticut.

[PasadenaTrudy]

19. Typical

all over SoCal....especially on the Westside and Malibu..

[mainer]

20. Well, it would never happen in Maine.

Here it wouldbe more like "pick-up truck hits rusty toyota hits dirt-caked Subaru."

[NCarolinawoman]

23. LOL

Good one!

[JI7]

24. is prius considered an expensive car ? at least in comparison to the others ?
